You Know You Are Living In 2006

The main problem is that the VAST majority of turntables anymore only have 45 & 33 1/3 RPM settings. No more of the 78 & 12 or whatever that slowest one was. I keep telling Dad that I'll take his 78's, we used to enjoy those old songs when we were kids.

True. 16 2/3 was the slow speed. Even so, there are replica's and remanufactured players available. Problem is very high price and serviceability. Cost of ownership! Joy of good times!!

The only thing that I ever saw on 16 2/3 records was Bud Collier reading the Bible.

And the answer to a turntable owner's dreams is:

I have about 200 records and a turntable to play them on except that it is not hooked up and hasn't been for years. I also have about 50 of the 78 records and also have an old Victrola to play them on. Problem is that is sounds terrible next to the cd's.
